I love golf. But do you know how I got good at golf? Because of Charles Barkley. I was playing with Charles, Michael Jordan and Roy Green, and Charles was talking so much trash. On every shot, he was talking trash. So I left the tournament, and I went and practiced for a year and half. ↗

I have not practiced saxophone since 1980. I mean, not one note. I do not pick it up in my house, and that's the end of it. ↗
